In accordance with our ISSUE-1, I think we need to align with SPARQL wherever we can.
Regards,
Dave

He felt that s/1/_SINGLE_QUOTE/ and s/2/_QUOTE/ improved the reader's understanding. I argued that we should coordinate any name changes with SPARQL. The SPARQL ship as sailed (and I'm not convinced that the LC names are better), so I'm in favor of returning to the SPARQL names.
